Nice ones!
Right there is the upside to hoarding. ;-)

Get back to that house and start using this on the floors and walls!!
I was collecting back in '62. Cents in the 'teens were easy to find as I recall.
I like
I was thinking that roll looked a lot like what I'd expect 50 pennies taken randomly out of change in 1962 to look like.
I think one reason so many started to collect coins in the early 60s was that environment - where circulating coins enabled one to fill or nearly-fill Whitman folders for wheats, buffalos, mercuries, etc - and dates starting from the teens. I read a lot of evidence on this forum of those who started collecting back then.
My strategy is about collecting what I intend to keep, not investing in what I plan to sell.
Typical date distribution for change of that period. Silver was in common circulation as well. I was in the Navy then, and still remember nickel and dime beers. Cheers, RickO
